How to disable new document at Microsoft Word 2007 startup?

"If you specify a document to open, then a new document is not created.

E.g. when you double click on a Word document (or any document associated with Word) it opens that document, not a new blank document.

Command line: path-to-word path-to-document

Also the /n command line switch will prevent opening a new document."

You don't have to close the "New Document". After opening Word, click on the ribbon, then click on the used document you want to open. The new document will automatically be closed and your document will be opened.
